What is the going price for a Koni/GC set-up?? Tried doing a search but i didnt get any results, and who do you go through to order the set-up? Thanks for the help!

 

about $800-$830 for custom rates and $760-$800 for the off the shelf rates

$460 for the yellows from 2 sponsors in the marketplace. Nolimitmotorsport is one of them

$299 for off the shlef rates (OTS) from GC, however the OTS rates can be had for less on ebay or by lookinig around. For custom rates, you must go through GC and its $339 I believe + shipping for those, so say $350 give or take some and you end up with $810 for custom rate GC and Koni yellows.

 

Add $120 per axle if you want the extended top-hats. Expect to spend around $950-$1,050 for Koni Sports, custom rate Ground-Controls, and the extended top-hats.

 

got guoted from nolimit for 780$ with custom gc springs.. gonna ask about the top-hats now that ya mentioned it

 

Or you could buy my 4 month old setup for an EG w/ off the shelf spring rates for 600 plus shipping (shameless plug i know, lol)

Is where I purchased my suspension from. Mostly because of the generous amount of help and advice they gave me prior to the sale.

$1100 for Koni Yellows, GC extended upper mounts, Ingalls front UCA bolt "camber kit", and custom rate GCs.

 

I paid 775 shipped with custom GC rates for my GC's and Koni Yellows.

Pssst, you can get Hypercoil springs, custom rates, $55 a corner at e-shocks.com. I'm going with them for my Accord.

 

I got mine from http://www.ground-control-store.com for 1K assembled with GC top hats and cutom rates.

so you spent $220 and you still don't have perches or sleeves for them.

 

so what city in cali is ground control located?

 

I haven't bought them yet...but I have sleeves from a prior set up anyway. Go with GC I guess...

 

Do you guys work in cornerweight, rideheight and aligments into your budgets?

That's a killer deal...wish I had the money for it.

 

I just got the 1K deal today. Call ground control and talk to them.

 

Koni's and shelf rate GCs for the Koni's was $772 for me.

 

To all those thinking about extended upper mounts: You only need to worry about shock travel in the front because the rear will have plenty. If you don't want to spend the extra $120 for a pair of GC mounts, there is a way to safely add travel for free...

Here is CRX lee's how too on mounting your koni's lower in the fork...

Yes, they are a twin tube so a new dent won't screw things up but I have never made a dent and certainly would never file on the shock body. Once I tried whacking a new dent in the body but found I was more likely to just oval out the bottom of the shocks before a real dent got in it.

You guys are making it much harder than it need to be, I have been doing it for years. Leave the brake line bracket off and install the shock, spring and wishbone just like normal with the top and bottom mount bolts and nuts. Using the dent to align and start the pinch bolt, start the pinch bolt by only two or three threads so it is solidly started but definately not being tightened. Now take a large straight blade screw driver tip or a chisel punch around to the split on the back side of the wishbone and use it as a wedge and hammer the end it to further spread the split and make it looser around the shock bottom. Now put a floor jack under the LCA (the car is up on jack stands BTW) and lift the LCA upward loading against the spring and the car. The mouth of the wishbone will slide right up higher on the shock body and the pinch bolt slips up out of the dent. It only uses the dent as a guidepath so the bolt threads properly across the gap. You may need to fiddle with the wedge a bit or knock the top of the wishbone lightly with a hammer but it will normally move pretty easily. Once it stops moving, note how much shock bottom sticks through the bottom of the wishbone and make the other side match. Any amount of extra travel you get at the shock means 1.5 times that amount of free travel at the wheel. The key is that you must first use the dent to start the pinch bolt into the threading, if you don't then the arc of the shock body will deflect the tip of the pinchbolt on a tangent and you risk cross threading the wishbone like Tyson did (and I did until I figured it out).

Couldn't be easier, no new dents, no grinding or filing, just free stroke but remember that you must raise your spring perch accordingly or otherwise the car will just be lower with no extra stroke.

BTW, I just use one zip tie normally to hold the braided brake line (older Earls normally) and have had no evidence or concern of it moving or wearing.

will call them soon!!!

i dont remember but was it with stardard rates or custom rates?

 

I got my GC's directly from GC, and they were $360 shipped. I have custom rates, but there was no charge for that according to them. The increase in price they claimed, which was also shown on their website, was from the change they make in their kit specifically for the Koni setup. Not sure what the difference is, but that's how they sell them.

 

Regular price for their kits are $340. They offer a "special edition" kit for Honda & Acura that is $299. That is the kit most people get, and that is why people think they pay extra for the regular kit w/ your choice of spring rate...
